[ale] moving an .iso

[Lightner, Jeff]

Curious why one should use ntfs vs a Linux filesystem like ext4 assuming there was no desire to put the SD card in a Windows system at some point.

Does Android not support Linux filesystems?   Does the sd card not allow for that?   Wasn’t the source a Linux system?

Final report.

file size limits within fat32 fs were the problem.

Reformatted the micro sd card using this command:

mkntfs -F -L micro /media/<original label>

that took a l-o-n-g time because of having to use a USB-2 connection.

But it worked.

Once the sd chip was formatted ntfs, I was able to move the iso to it without trouble -- just more time.

The Android tablet can see the reformatted sd chip.

So far, all is good.
